tilda loses transparency - gnome+compiz startup applications [SOLVED]

when i add tilda to startup applications it loses it transparency.  i am using gnome and compiz.  however when i manually start tilda it has transparency, perhaps i need it to start after fusion-icon? is this possible?

Re: tilda loses transparency - gnome+compiz startup applications [SOLVED]

This  happened to me as well, i think its because tilda starts before the transparency has started. I wrote a little script to wait 10 seconds before starting tilda and then called the script from the autostart.
put this script somewhere e.g home/sas/scripts

 #!/bin/sh
sleep 10 && tilda

make it executable and then call /home/sas/scripts/nameofscript from autostart setup.

thanks!

i just added:

bach -c "sleep 10 && tilda"

to my startup applications and it works great.
